The Procedural Features of Collecting Information Describing the Identity of the Suspect

Abstract

The article studies the cognitive practice of investigator involving other subjects of criminal proceedings in collecting, testing, evaluation of the evidence and procedural sources relating to the identity of the suspect. The information about identity of the suspect can be developed while questioning from his testimony and by monitoring his behavior, language, facial gestures etc. The information about the suspect can be developed also during the search, but prior to its execution the investigator must have some information about the identity of the suspect, his interests, lifestyle, occupation, skills, preferences, hobbies, to set his family members who live together as well as the relationship between them. One of the ways to collect evidence about the identity of the suspect is his examination to identify the body traces of the criminal offense or to find special signs but in a case when it is not necessary to conduct a forensic examination. Expert examination on receiving the information about the circumstances that characterize the identity of the suspect such as his health (physical and mental), physical abilities, age etc is of great importance to substantiate and to examine the facts.
